> [@Slash1972](#): > > You are never going to get an answer for this, because the answer is “Yes, men should not be allowed in restrooms with women” and there is no way to say that without sounding sexist and bigoted, thus it’s easier to just not say anything and refuse to answer the question. Exactly. I won’t get an answer. The best I get is that we’ll just rely on everyone to voluntarily use the restroom they want, which is fine, but that completely breaks down as soon as one person chooses the opposite. If you are a woman who prefers a bathroom without men in it and just one man uses it, he ruined it for you. You no longer have such a room. And since the man might actually be a cisgender woman who simply choose to look and dress like a traditional idea of a man (she may be a lesbian, or maybe not), and you can’t tell her from a male, then there’s no point anyway. All I want is for people to stop pretending that this is the end of it, and to stop acting like asking these questions is somehow damaging to the cause. I’m ready to move beyond supporting just transgender people. I wonder if others are ready. > [@](#): > > I thought the whole point was that transgender people HAVE to use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender? They don’t have a choice on which bathroom to use. That’s why I asked that question. I can’t say it would occur in real life though. However, there are people who say they are genderfluid - their gender changes back and forth - and others who say they are non-binary and have no gender, or both. Those are real people. They have rights too. How we could fit them into the current “men and women, one or the other” system is a tough question. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-right-wing-paranoids-are-right-again/754667)._
